Madam Yu Feng was a well-known Chinese artist, writer, and art critic. Born in Beijing, China, in 1916, in formative years, young Yu Feng’s passion for the arts was strongly influenced by her poet and artist father, Mr. Yu Hua, and her poet and writer uncle, Mr. Yu Dafu. She studied fine arts in Peking University and Central University of Nanking. For over 25 years she was the curator of the Chinese National Gallery, Beijing, thus focused her entire energy on organizing art exhibitions, as opposed to painting. She was imprisoned for over 7 years in the notorious Qincheng Prison during the infamous Cultural Revolution. In later years, she picked up painting again, focused more on traditional Chinese brush & ink painting.
